combine my satellites???

Re: combine my satellites???

Yes, I think the too.
I have similar problem. I wanted to connect 5 inputs on 4 input DiSEqC with the simmilar option like on your picture, but it didn't worked correctly.
Finally I had to use 8 input DiSEqC.
You can try to connect your 3 LNB's to 4 input DiSEqC.

Re: combine my satellites???

hello!
there is my problem

I have a dreambox 500s.


There are my apartment centrically 2 satellite system (42e, 13e)
(with a single cable coming from the).


I have a satellite in the my balkony



I would like to combine my satellite to this with the central system.



but , I don't combine this two cable.


1- I tried combine using by the Option switch (EMP 162-D).


But, one of the satellites(13e) did not show.

2- I tried combine using by the 1/4 DiseqC Switch

But, one of the satellites(13e) did not show.

what can I do about it? please help me!!

There are a few things you have to take into consideration:

1. The central apartment cable has already been bridged with a diseqC switch for combining the two sats that are present in the building.

2. you have to Know the port settings for the two satellites located centrally in the building. You will need this info when you want to configure port settings in your dm500.

3. There is what is known as "port cascading". this a technique used for combining two or more diseqC switches port settings.
Let me break it down for you:
(A) DiseqC switch1(located in the building):
port 1 = 42e
port 2 = 13e

(B) DiseqC switch2 (yours located in your apartment):
Port 1 = diseqC cable carrying two sats (42e and 13e).
it's settings should be like this:
port 1 = 1 sub level 1.1 = 42e
port 1 = 1 sub level 1.2 = 13e

Port 2 = 7e (sat3 cable)
* PLEASE NOTE:- The successful implementation of this settings also depends on the receiver's software. If it supports this. So, make sure that you are good with dm500 diseqC configurations.

Hope this helps.
Cheers.
